Abstract

Owing to the attractive biological and pharmacological activities, sensitive and selective detection of curcumin is of great significance. Nanomaterials possessing unique optical properties exhibit potential applications in the fluorescent detection of curcumin. This review first discussed the detection strategies of fluorescent nanosensors. In the subsequent section, we highlighted the recent advances of different nanomaterials for fluorescent detection of curcumin, including semiconductor QDs, lanthanide upconversion nanoparticles, fluorescent metal nanoclusters, and carbon quantum dots. And we further provided the merits of fluorescent nanosensors for curcumin. Lastly, the challenges and further directions were presented.
